+# Creates a wrapper for patch(1) utility that discards exit status in case the patch gets reapplied. This happens
+# because CMake applies patch step frequently with ExternalProject and FetchContent. Moreover, GNU patch does not follow
+# strict POSIX description of -N option making CMake think patching failed.
+#
+# For compatibility use with cmake(1) itself:
+#
+# COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -D PATCH_FILE=something.patch -P ${PATCH_SCRIPT}
